Emax

Problem is normal floppy drive formats to 1.44M size. Emax formats  
floppy to only half of that -720k size. Normal floppy has jumper set  
to DS1 (disk #1). Emax floppy is jumpered to DS0 (disk #0). Look for  
jumper labeled DS0 or DS1. Normally, jumper will be on DS1- but for  
Emax, move jumper to DS0. Also- all floppies MUST be DSDD (720k), not  
DSHD (1.44M). To use a HD disk, you must cover the hole in the corner  
(not the hole for write-protect - no writing of floppy, but the hole  
in the other corner).

Hopefully that will help you.
